The Immigrants

Hi bloggers, in this opportunity I want set out the next thematic: Immigrants in Chile. Clost to 75% of the immigrants come from Latin America from countrys as Perú, Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia y Ecuador. The majority of immigrants concentrate in Metropolitan region. In addition to coming to Chile for work opportunity, some immigrants seek a better quality of life with their families and others come to perform professionality.

In Chile govern the immigration law since 1975, the oldest immigration law in Latin America. The current law considers migration as a threat from the point of view of the internal security of the state and not as an inclusion process. The current law hinders migrant'job search and encourages informal jobs. With the current regulations Chile is losing opportunities for innovation and undertaking.

Migration is important for the economic, social and cultural development of Chile. A regularized migrant is a contribution to the country, brings innovation and entrepreneurship.

Cheers.
